Take a Caribbean Cruise Vacation in November and Revisit the Summer

By Ric Henderson

As August starts to roll through, the reality that the summer is almost over begins to kick in. In about 3 weeks, the pools will be closing and the weekend trips to the shore will cease to happen. It starts to get darker earlier and the joy of summer is gone. Hold on! It doesnt have to end if you book a Caribbean Cruise Vacation and steal one more week of summer away right in the middle of the winter.

There is no arguing the fact that most people are much happier in the summertime. Everyone is more pleasant, we get to go the beach or head out at the pool. When wintertime rolls around, things just seem to change. Instead of getting depressed as the summer drifts away, plan a Caribbean Cruise Vacation and give yourself something to get excited about this winter.

The Western Caribbean will present you with a lot of options and it has become very popular over the years. The ports of Jamaica, Cozumel, Mexico, Grand Cayman and Princess Cays are all part of this swing. While ships will leave from various ports, Miami and Ft. Lauderdale will probably give you the most options. Some of the activities enjoyed in this area are scuba diving (the Caymans in particular), snorkeling and hiking.

The Eastern Caribbean is another nice cruise to take. The ports of St. Thomas, Puerto Rico and St. Marteen are not only popular ports for cruise ships, but they also are very popular as destination vacations. You can actually combine the two and take a cruise that only stops at one port to have more time to enjoy these beautiful areas.

Now if you want to try something that will not be as crowded, but will be as beautiful, try and get something going to the Southern Caribbean. The destinations are not as well known, but this assures you of dealing with less crowds. Spots like Grenada, Antigua, Barbados and St. Barts are among the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean.

Once you have your destination lined up, it is time to figure out how long you are going to go for. If you would like to break that vacation week up, you can actually take two shorter cruises over the winter months and really extend that summer. There are plenty of single and dual destination cruises available that will last only 3 or 4 days.

Even if you do decide to break up your days, make sure at some point that you do take one of the longer Caribbean Cruise Vacations. For most people, 4 days is just not enough time to enjoy everything that his part of the world has to offer. Beautiful islands, incredible food and some of the best scenery in the world is something that you can never get tired of.

The summer ends when you say it does. Just because you see football on television and the weatherman starts calling for snow does not meant that you have to give into the season. Go on a Caribbean Cruise Vacation and steal back a few more of those summer days.
